thanks for being with us a three hour here's a quick recap wilder your headlines russia and china blocked the western backed the one draft resolution on syria with moscow slamming the taps for an unbalanced approach and denial of dialogue between the government and the opposition. in other stories that shape this week riots returned to egypt as anger at the authorities failure to prevent a deadly sniper brawl spills over into the forty's a violent clashes that have already seen and doesn't kill. and hundreds of

thousands marched in russian cities in spite of subzero temperatures with both pro and anti-government rallies and record breaking numbers headed next month's presidential election. iran is bracing itself against fresh western imposed sanctions in our interview up next attack iran's and term minister looks at the potential fallout from ongoing economic attacks by the u.s. and its allies. the possibility of war between the united states and iran is being debated around the world that's what it is like inside the country to discuss that the endowed joined by iran's interior minister stuff a lot more how a lot larger it's possible thank you for your time mr were talking several days after the e.u. introduced oil sanctions against iran and i know the iranian leadership has

responded by saying the sanctions would do move home to europe now until iran. still says iran gets seventy percent of its revenues from oil do you have any fears about negative social reactions including strikes as people may lose their jobs do you take this somehow into account in your work. these speculations are new to our country and our government or the power of the people all around ruling bodies or in power as a result of popular voting therefore our government and are all for it is a completely popular and our people have participated in all areas and spheres of our life from the very start of the revolution therefore as i've said there's nothing new about these talks which are actually quite outdated and irrelevant nonetheless they keep speculating on this matter of trying to stir up psychological warfare inside our country or in the countries of the region or probably among people of their own countries that have enough of their own problems attempting to

find someone else to blame for them we don't sell that much oil to your of illnesses and our european accounts don't have that much money. so you know this that you know it's. the u.s. and the west as a how do not conceal that one of the main tasks of these sanctions is to get the oil prices for the iranian oil lower thus decreasing their revenues from the oil iran sow's is they want a two we used to manipulate the political situation. the way was that i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very fact it can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect the drop in the euro rate and the euro market this new decision will result in further economic problems which as we can see have affected them already and so far they've been unable to find solutions oil and energy markets will experience instability and turmoil and this factor can boost prices for oil and

energy products and jeopardize the market security but this is quite difficult for the markets which going by previous experience is used to consuming certain kinds of oil and energy this also brings up technical and economic issues at the same time we're not worried for iran at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward that in the year the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of their own economic problems. iran ians nav as the rankins with the aggressive and military rhetoric being built up by the west that they aren't as i've said these words aren't new these speculations have been going on for thirty years and there's no news in it to the iranian people the people of iran are in charge and they always participate in everything we don't sense any problems inside the country though if i may i would like to ask you about the recent killing of a nuclear scientist there have been other similar cases and as far as we understand

the investigation into it has not made great progress so far why have there been no substantial results and who might be behind the killing. of this is clear is day and they admitted mossad and the cia as well as some european security services don't like to see nations progress they would like to have control and a monopoly over everything the great a rainy a nation and follows the path of searched. infineon technologies it wants to stand firmly on its feet by means of its own strengths and produce its own knowledge they disapprove of this progress and they don't want to see other nations develop themselves the fact that they come over to such people's homes or attempt to murder an educated and broad minded university professor highlights the grave nature of their situation it demonstrates that the us and israel have disgraced themselves in this matter that they speak of human rights but at the same time they officially

perform terrorist attacks and promote state terrorism expansion. in their slogans we see their idle talk on fighting terrorism their deeds however do not match their words they brought their troops to afghanistan under the pretext of defending human rights and fighting terrorism and drug trafficking and drug reps of increased forty fold since the americans got there. the number of casualties among innocent men women and children has increased significantly and so has the level of instability in the region that we actually witness terrorism development in the region with drug mafia and drug related revenues have grown as well we see contradiction between their words and deeds. the scientists assassination will only make the iranian people stronger and more focused on their goal. people understand that they've chosen the right path the one of scientific progress the adversary doesn't want to see this happen that it would cause harm to them physical annihilation of

people in full daylight as a sign of the adversaries complete powerlessness and despair. i now that iran is having parliamentary elections in a month in many countries not only arab ones election may be used as a way to create provocations there are always some people unhappy with election results and this discontent may snow ball i am concerned by this that a similar scenario man followed in iran. no thank god we've had twenty nine elections to date and this. election campaign will be our thirtieth election and it will take place in absolute peace and security like all the previous ones because our dear fellow citizens in all the regions all the cities and villages will willingly come to polling stations and cast their votes to designate their delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country that is that of the us as you know that r.t. has been comprehensively covering the situation in the arab countries as we have covered the wars in libya and syria we often heard complaints from the leadership

that the intelligence services of other countries have stepped up their operations on the territories of the countries concerned in the past year the way many are ledged mercenaries in syria and libya who could see with our own eyes that some people were apparently not libyans but fought on the side of the rebels can you see any increase in the operations of intelligence services from other countries or any attempts to penetrate your territory at least in recent years since the latest events in the arab countries began. you see foreign powers and other enemies are at work everywhere they might also be present in our country but we do not feel we should worry about this but of course we should look out for superpowers and our enemies attempting to interfere in the home affairs of arabic countries especially in syria and in all countries where the people are in charge of running their nations they must keep track of such attempts. at all other ways.

it's been about ts since the arab spring began at first even the iranian leadership hailed the movement in egypt in libya as expressing democratic sentiments now that one year is passed the attitude towards the events around your country has changed do you still believe those are people driven by their own democratic ideas or do you see hunt of other countries in the events of the arab spring has. support any popular movement. long as people's demands are legitimate the imperialistic regime of world supremacies is obviously trying to lead people away from the right path and neutralize the popular movement or transform it in favor of their own interests the pure straightforward and righteous path that people have been following in a while countries of the region however it is stipulated by their willingness to defend their rights which is a legitimate demand from iran's viewpoint. can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased there not partake drugs trafficking well. yes

afghanistan is certainly the focus of narcotic plantations now the americans and europeans are there and since they came narcotic drugs production has increased forty fold and it's a financial source for most terrorists who infringe the security of central asian states the states of the region and russia itself it's a threat not only for iran but for the region at large and russia if russia fails to keep an eye on what's going on next to its borders and around the country this threat will most probably become a serious problem for russia itself it's a fact that both iran and russia the main drug trafficking route where at the beginning of it because the drugs first penetrate our country then followed to turkey and then to europe and on the other hand russia was also on the route that its northern end because the drugs penetrate russia through central asia and then go to europe we suffer serious losses on this route more than three thousand seven

hundred lives have been lost in the attempt to resolve this issue. given we as humans are convinced we have to go on with this ruthless battle so as to save our people and despite the fact that the world community does not lend us necessary assistance in this cause we're alone to bear most financial costs and human losses in order to continue the struggle shut down the borders and blockade the territory inside the country in order to prevent the trafficking so it seems iran and russia . will have to take responsibility for the problem themselves. the pairing for this interview several colleagues approached me and asking if it was going to be between iran and the usa who's with you on film. as well let me say this again all those fabrications and not new to us the islamic republic of iran is a strong power capable of defending its regional security fully and the iranian people being

a great and powerful nation are not afraid of those futile threats. protection can be used. in global supremacy. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars in the price to pay for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another one hundred fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budget. things the best for. us. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since

two thousand superdome is not enough not enough apartment beds and not enough nurses. to take care of all the people. the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to ask i started out i want to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the farmer problem is medical i've had a rescue a couple weeks ago waited four hours. i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say it's a francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that if you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. least.

counting on a fight being a short one but i had no idea i wouldn't it was a knockout he presented me with an opportunity and i took it but it's good that it ended quickly because i already have another fight coming up in two weeks time. the matadors hopes of the bigger books is taking something from the match were also soon dashed both the middleweight and light heavyweight categories were largely one sided affairs with los angeles barely closing alexander ivanoff or edward yet can shift any problems but if three of the full fights in the run up to the heavyweight bout were decided by technical knock outs the night's final clash had to be put to the judges who unanimously voted in favor of denial is not seen by banyan this league is that almost in the world that alonso has to five especially and still retain eligibility at some of the books and so what's next would eventually become a live big chap. i gather boxes from the
